Variant summary

Our verdict is . The variant received -14 ACMG points: 0P and 14B. BA1BP4_ModerateBP6_Strong

The NM_005957.5(MTHFR):c.1781G>A (p.Arg594Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0526 (AC=84,877) in the gnomAD database across 1,613,878 control chromosomes, including 2,928 homozygotes. The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.139. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign/Likely Benign (★★). Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R594W: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 2040845, 1 star) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

Genes affected
MTHFR (HGNC:7436): (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a co-substrate for homocysteine remethylation to methionine. Genetic variation in this gene influences susceptibility to occlusive vascular disease, neural tube defects, colon cancer and acute leukemia, and mutations in this gene are associated with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
MTHFR Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
  • homocystinuria due to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -14 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); Splicing verdict: benign (Strong).; Germline computational verdict: benign (Moderate).
BP6
ClinVar 2-star benign — strong (BP6); ClinVar germline classification: Benign/Likely Benign, 2 star(s).
BA1
GnomAD effective popmax AF >5% — BA1 stand-alone benign; GnomAD reliable popmax AF = 0.1386 — exceeds 5%% threshold (BA1 applied)
